No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

I created this recipe one day when I was craving something sweet but didn’t feel like driving just to get dessert. This is such a simple decadent treat to make with only a few ingredients you probably have on hand already. I actually ate 3 of these before a 20 mile trail run and didn’t feel hungry the entire time. More power to the healthy fats in peanut butter and the dark chocolate chips didn’t hurt either 😉 It’s also the perfect bite to cure that sweet tooth after dinner. Maybe I should find a way to bring some to Zion…
